Recouping from croup . . .

Well. . . . I realize I haven’t posted since “last year!” haha. . . It’s been a loooong week, but praise the Lord, “His mercies are new every morning.” These pics were actually from the WV Christmas, last Saturday when all was just beginning.

We arrived home last Friday (the day after Christmas) from South Carolina. We had a great time, and it was fun to spend time with the many Miles families. The fun was quick to end when we arrived back in WV though. Turns out Colt has had croup. He’s been so congested and just coughs until he is basically choking and can’t breathe. So . . . he has been pretty miserable. He hasn’t ate or slept well. Day and night consisted of crying and coughing. I had to join him with the crying on several occasions. It was good timing though, since David has been home several days off work and all. He’s been a HUGE help. We haven’t had much time to eat or sleep . . . or do much else since Colt only wants to be held. That’s how we know he isn’t feeling well, since he didn’t really like to be held before. Actually, he’s fallen asleep in my arms more in the last week, than in the last 5 months! That part has been priceless. . . but the rest I won’t miss when he gets better :-) It’s day 8, and I hope we are nearing the end! We were supposed to be moving to NC yesterday, but we postponed that until Tuesday to give the little man some time to get better. We are sure missing his smiles though!

  1. sooo sorry to hear about the little man being sick… When baby is sick…nobody is happy! I remember one time in particular that Evan had a pretty bad little cold…and he wanted to be held alot. Those times are special….hope he feels better soon!

  2. Oh my goodness, He is beautiful!!! I can’t believe I’m missing his first year!!! i am really bummed we didn’t connect while I was in WV…it was a crazy time and hectic..ugh! and it didn’t stop when we got to Ga and then home to NM…but finally, things have slowed down, back to the normal chaos!
